Wouter – 08-11-17 (sold)
A commissioned piece done in an impressionistic style with lots of clairobscur. I had to come up with a solution for depicting his pale skin hues and still rendering them too unsaturated.

Some time ago my mother and I visited the Mauritshuis at The Hague, Netherlands, in order to show the neighbor’s girl around all the goodies of Vermeer and Rembrandt.
Bettie Page – 01-09-17 (sold)
This time I made Bettie somehow rectangular, circular and squareish, matching her perfect female forms to simplifyed geometric shapes, not loosing a hint of impressionistic feel of realism.
Conquering the Stelvio – 24-08-17 (sold)
A commissioned piece I did for someone who loved my roundism style. She likes to do holiday trips with their favorite car, a vintage Porsche Carrera.

Roundism – 26-05-17 (sold)
During my lessons as a teacher I stell my students there is no end to perfection and one never can tell when a painting or drawing is finished.
The widow of Aleppo – 18-05-17 (sold)
I always wanted to do a piece after Rembrandt’s Jeremiah lamenting Jerusalem’s destruction and I could not find a more appropiate subject than the horrific destruction of Aleppo.

These times call for a poet that says it all.

Rotterdam – Delftshaven – 31-03-17 (sold)
Situated at Rotterdam, Delftshaven is the old harbour entree for the city of Delft, at the north of Rotterdam. I wanted to do a drawing full of atmosperic depth but still with a bit of cubist styling in it.
The green eyed girl (2017) (sold)
A commission for a classic portrait. The young girl, age 3, has beautiful green eyes (hence the title) and was very animated during the sessions, which is fun to watch but difficult to work with as an artist.
Henk Akkers – 15-02-17 (sold)
A portrait of my dad in roundistic forms. Always great to turn bushes and trees into round and abstract shapes.
Roundism – 12-02-17 (sold)
This painting is a culmination of all drawing efforts as to the same model pose.
Zoelen Forest – 04-02-17 (sold)
I change from nudity to landscapes a lot and I find trees equally attractive.
Bettie Page – 16-01-17 (sold)
With her slender body Bettie Page always has been a great model to put my project ’roundism’ on wheels. There’s not a single curve in her body that doesn’t makes me go cubistic.
Roundism – 30-12-16 (tribute to Anita Ekberg) (sold)
Another project of my roundism series.
Leiden – 27-12-16 (sold)
An impressionistic view on Leiden, where I studied. I am often fascinated my reflections in water and there are so many canals to be found over there. The movement of the water is what I put as a central theme in this drawing.

Roundism – 29-10-16 (sold)
Roundism put into a complementary colour scheme. The hardest thing was to balance it all so the purple wouldn’t overwhealm the yellow.
Sans titre – 25-10-16 (sold)
One from the series ‘sans titre’ depicting moviestars. This one is a tribute to Mary Pickford in some kind of cubistic roundish style.
